NOVA"Meteor Strike"
A 7,000-ton asteroid crashes into the earth's atmosphere, explodes and falls to earth across a wide swath near the Ural Mountains on February 15. Dubbed the Siberian Meteor, it explodes with the power of 30 Hiroshima bombs, damaging buildings and sending more than 1,000 people to the hospital. Countless digital dashboard cameras record the event creating crowd-sourced data that allows NOVA crews and impact scientists to hit the ground in Russia in search of debris from the explosion, and clues to the meteor's origin and makeup. The program also explores some even greater explosions of the past, asking if Earth is in the cross-hairs of a celestrial shooting gallery.G

Bathroom breaks for Fluffy don't always coincide with Maura and Tom's, so they came up with the idea of a completely disposable kitty litter box, not only for cat owners on the road, but for busy pet owners who would like to have their kitty litter and boxes delivered to their door once a month. Bringing their prototype to the casting call was a big step, but ultimately our judges felt the idea was worth digging into. D
